This fun, hands-on workshop, veteran professional Chef Amira Eskenazi will help you develop the fundamental knife skills that will make all your cooking quicker, easier and safer.
Chef Amira will lead participants through a recipe for a delicious classic chicken stew, while making a versatile chicken stock from all the leftovers and off-cuts. While the stew simmers, you’ll practice your new knife skills preparing a refreshing Mediterranean salad.
The workshop will include an overview of the main types of knives and their uses, proper grip and handling, and a rundown of the basics of knife safety, storage, maintenance and purchasing. If you have knives of your own, feel free to bring them you as there will be a hand-on sharpening demonstration as well.
From here you will dive into fundamental knife techniques, like how to butcher a whole chicken into parts – an invaluable and money-saving kitchen skill. The class will also cover slicing, chopping and basic vegetable cuts like macedoine, julienne, and brunoises. You will cover specific techniques for working with tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic and fresh herbs, as well as tips for segmenting citrus and strawberry garnishes.
